The "Postman Brought Me" Thread

[alvinlwh]

3 deliveries today! 

From WSM, M chassis foam tyres and some bling bits for my FTX Bugsta. 

From AE, a 1060 and some spacers. 

And finally from TTP, a racing wing for the CR-Z.

@HornetRacer 1971Thanks a million Simon! I had to take it outside for pics to try to capture the pink metallic! For pics Inside, it gets all washed out with reflections. It's really something you can only fully appreciate in person:

Two weeks late, after a wild ride through the US Postal system, this little gem finally arrived today.

[TurnipJF]

I had a brilliant bank holiday weekend of teapot racing, taking both the drivers' and constructors' championships, but had to miss prize-giving, so the organisers were kind enough to mail me my medal and certificate.

Congratulations! This is just great. 😀

Eine lange gesuchte Porsche 924 GTS Karosserie in 1:12 um mein erstes Wettbewerbsauto einen Robbe / Kyosho Sonic Sports zu restaurieren. 😃

This should be a cracking build!

[Mouc-RC]

Who doesn't like a nice pair? So I bought 2. All together for 30 bucks. Glad I am. Should fit pretty well a Super Sabre build with low sticker scheme.

Another order from AT for my slow FF-03 build. 

Seems like I can never have enough of that free wheel hex.

Were you going offroad or on loose surface this year? I see you are on rallyblocks. Last year you were on paved surface,  if I am correct. 

 

 

I expect this creation to enter the next postal racing round .  I remember last years car- eh.. teapot - did remarkably well. I was one of those who made the error of underestimating a teapot manned by a competent driver.

Worth every penny.

The obstacle course is laid out on flat tarmac, but the obstacles themselves are made of a variety of materials such as wood, plastic, foam, bone, fabric, etc. The versatility of the rally blocks comes in handy when traversing them.

just got two packages today. first one very big, with this Kosworks transport bag.

 

the second with various parts; ABC Hobby light buckets for Subaru BRZ, some Square titanium screws, aluminium nuts, M2 M3 countersunk washers, wheel nuts and servo spacers. and then Tamiya reinforced adjusters, TB Evo 5 B-parts and a aluminium high torque servo horn for M-chassis.

I found the main hop ups for my Tom's Levin FF-01 build. Yes I only need one chassis set but the seller had two, what was I supposed to do ? 

[Nick-W]

Some bits to recommission the TT-02 carpet racer. Unfortunately I picked up two front damper stays, which wasn’t very smart. 

Still, I guess there are worse things to waste your money on. If I was a drug addict I’d have spent hundreds of pounds on little baggies of imported stuff to feed my addiction…

…

oh… 

[anytimebaby]

A couple of NIB MFA RX15 Plus's arrived today woopwoop 

[Re-Bugged]

Wheels from Banzai, tyres from RC Mart, everything else from Tony 😃, uprights to fix the Stadium Blitzer, TA02 parts for the Street Scorcher Carbon chassis upgrade & Scorcher body for a permanent 4WD project.

 

[BuggyDad]

The "Super Fast, Super Stable"* Super Champ (I'm stubbornly sticking with the old name) from @toyolien that also includes aluminium wheel covers, chassis and oil bottle, ball diff and some other bits n bobs, so it will be a relatively blingy example I think. Plus the long awaited last little body clip posts for my TD4 battery door project, new front tyres for my Falcon from @KEV THE REV and an Aluminium Astute front Bulkhead from Pargu. 

I've got some projects to get back into (and not these ones til I've ticked off some others)! 

*reminds me a little of Teresa May. What was her slogan? "Strong and Stable" I think. See how that panned out... 

[alvinlwh]

A nice delivery from AT so I can move ahead with the FF-03 build. 

Also a bunch of spacers + screws from AE. 

[markbt73]

Got a new project, courtesy of @Saito2. The plan is to copy the parts to build a runner, and let this be a nice shelf display.

[Andreas W]

I also got a package from Asiatees today. All parts for the winter XV-01,  except 3 more sets of 3racing fast gear set for the M-05, since I am taking the chance on the Yeah Racing gear diff with one toth too less. I also got a set of free alu hexes (thanks for the tip, Alvinlwh), but forgot them downstairs.

The upcoming Group-C Porsche is already making its presence felt.

Ooh I look forward to seeing your build. I was half tempted myself, to build a little 4wd postal racer, but I really don't need one more kit!
